Am I Tired of Leopard Print Yet? I Think Not!

I know you have seen a lot of leopard in the past year or two but I can't help myself...I'm not tired of it quite yet.  Maybe I'll get my fill at some point but right now, give me more!

What do you think?  Are you sick of it yet or are you still rocking a bit of leopard?

Outfit of the Day: How About a Little Leopard?


We have been having a little bit of warmer weather here and there, so skirts and dresses have been back on the menu.  I'm keeping it winter-esque with the fabrics- a wool skirt paired with my camel sweater that I wore with rolled jeans here.



 
I like the little bit of interest that the leopard print belt adds, and the navy pumps are a great neutral.  Plus  my classroom is clear across campus, across a playground full of blue chips and gravelly dirt, so comfortable, easy to walk in shoes are a must.
I love this skirt because it has pockets.  I love me some pockets in a skirt or dress.

Fashion for Kids: Get thee to the Gap



The Cat and I went to see Mary Poppins this past weekend, and then we headed on over to Third Street Promenade for some shopping.   We stopped in at the Gap, where I immediately fell in love with this PERFECT cardigan (damn it, it is sold out in my size online).
Cardigan Perfection.


But. We weren't there for me; we were there for the Cat. And a good thing, too, because Gap has got some great pieces for fall (for grownups and kids alike!). We headed downstairs to the children's section, turned the corner, and were greeted with a treasure trove of fabulosity. Pint sized fabulosity. Some really great pieces that will allow my daughter to dress stylishly. As in our preferred form of style. As in classic and chic. Because what young girl shouldn't be able to dress in such a way that is both classic and chic, and yet still says, "I'm a kid"?! I don't think kids need to wear shirts covered in big headed girls speaking in other languages (although those can be cute too), or emblazoned with sparkly/glittery fruit or happy faces. That is fine for some, but the Cat prefers glam over glitter (though she and I both know glitter definitely has its own special place). So, anyway, without further ado, here are some of our favorite offerings from the Gap.
Tweed.  Lovely, lovely tweed.
Gap knows a good sparkle collar is right on trend, and they also know
there is nothing wrong with extending that trend to a younger generation!
Love the pairing of the sweater with shorts.
See the pieces here.

These are kid socks, but I'm telling you , I don't care!
I want some for the Cat, and I aslo want a pair!

How cute is this?  Polka dot socks with ankle boots.

Awww, who 's a cute little mannequin?
You are.  Oh yes, you are!

Minor Obsession: Leopard Print

I have been not-so-secretively obsessing over leopard print ever since I bought a pair of leopard print loafers/flats for my trip to Chicago.  I wear them with so much stuff, they've really become a staple in my wardrobe.  I think you can definitely overdo it with this print, but just a hit of it can add spark to an outfit.  I love the blouse featured below because even though it is a leopard print, it doesn't scream at you; it isn't over the top.  I'm loving each of the pieces featured here.  I need want a pair of leopard print heels like Rebecca has (here).  On top of my list is a leopard print clutch.  I think those sandals are to die for, and that belt would add interest to any number of outfits.  And since I've also been obsessed with scarves lately too, I would love to add a scarf like the one pictured here to my ever growing collection.

Inspiration: Audrey Hepburn

I recently canceled my DirectTV service. (GASP!)  The receiver stopped working about a month ago.  I think it has actually been out longer than that.  I was too lazy busy to call and get it repaired.  The Cat and I have been gone a lot anyway, and when we are home, we have been turning on Netflix and watching Magnum P.I. and Parks and Recreation.  We have also been watching movies.  For the Cat, is has been titles such as The Adams Family and Girls Just Want to Have Fun.  For me, it has been some classics, like His Girl Friday, How to Steal a Million, and Charade.  Good, fun classics, the latter two starring one Ms. Audrey Hepburn, looking oh so sleek and stylish with her nod to mod and her classic 60's wardrobe.  There are a couple of looks that I particularly adore.

Hello, monochromatic chic.

Perfection in a navy jacket.

The first two are from How to Steal a Million with Peter O'Toole.  Next up are some great looks (including my favorite) from Charade with Cary Grant.

Isn't this beige coat and matching hat gorgeous?   I will answer that for you- yes; yes it is.

This is gorgeous too- beige with a black belt.  Perfect.
My favorite look from the film comes in the form of a red jacket and a leopard print hat.  I love, love, love this look, possibly because I am rather obsessed with leopard print at the moment.

I do not see myself wearing the hat, but I did recently get a red jacket.  Hmmmm.  What I would like is a leopard print coat.  Nothing garish, which is easy territory to slip into with something like this,  just perfect.  (Is that really so much to ask?!)  I am inspired by Hepburn's/Givenchy's use of the leopard print, and have loved incorporating it into my outfits via my leopard print flats.
But a coat... Well, a leopard print coat, done right, would become a wardrobe staple for me this winter.
Let me show you what I mean:
